RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] assign_domain_page vs assign_new_domain_page

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

These functions were recently renamed because the old
names were confusing.  I'm not sure the new names are
any better...

IIRC assign_new_domain_page was written for and is primarily
used by non-VTI.  assign_domain_page was written for and
is primarily used by VTI.  There was no need for an
mpt_table for non-VTI and I'm not sure if it is fully
used yet even by VTI.  I think what is there is a partial
implementation intended to be used with p2m.

I think before the VTI/non-VTI merge, there were more
differences but now it might make sense to merge the two.
